Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

Sakurai Mitsuki had always been very secretive about the purpose of her visit to China and had not revealed even a single detail to Nanako.

As for Nanako, she was a well-behaved and sensible child. When she saw that the teacher didn't say anything, she tactfully didn't ask any further questions.

Although she was a little curious, she felt that the teacher must have his reasons for doing this, and she just needed to do her part.

However, she really didn't understand. After all, the teacher was a well-known figure in Japan. Why did he disguise himself so mysteriously and come to the imperial capital without permission instead of notifying the Chinese Alliance according to the formal procedures?

This series of actions made Nanako very confused.

She looked at the teacher's deliberately disguised appearance, her heart full of questions.

But the teacher's usual gentleness and mystery made her dare not ask easily, she could only ponder it silently in her heart.

However, the teacher's mind was like a bottomless mystery. Nanako knew she couldn't guess it, and she didn't intend to waste her time guessing.

She decided to fulfill the role of translator conscientiously and responsibly. After all, in her heart, the teacher has always been the object of her respect and admiration, and she believed that the teacher would not harm her.

She strives to accurately convey the meaning of both parties in various occasions and does her best to help the teacher.

Although Ye Feng rejected the teacher's invitation, Nanako felt it was a pity.

She knew that the teacher saw Ye Feng's talent and thought that he would have better development if he went to study abroad in Japan.

But she also understands that everyone has their own choices and ideas, so she chooses to respect her friend's wishes.

"Dong dong."

At this moment, the tightly closed door in the room was knocked, and the crisp sound echoed in the quiet room, as if breaking the silent atmosphere.

Sakurai Mitsuki finally seemed to come back from her own thoughts and realize that there were others present.

She was slightly startled, then her expression quickly relaxed, just like the face-changing in Sichuan Opera. The originally complicated expression instantly returned to normal, and then she tried hard to make herself look very gentle.

She gently tidied her clothes, slowly knelt on the sofa, her movements graceful and calm, and then whispered to Nanako:

"Nanako, open the door." (Nanako, open the door.)

Her voice was soft and gentle, as if the strange emotion just now had never appeared.

Nanako nodded obediently and loosened her arms that had been hugging her knees.

Her curled up body slowly stretched out and she put her shoes back on.

Her heart was also full of doubts. Ye Feng left not long after rejecting Sakurai Mizuki's invitation, and Ruan Tianli also just left. So who was knocking on the door now?

As she thought about it, she walked towards the door with curiosity.

With every step she took, her doubts grew, and she kept guessing in her mind who might be outside the door.

Finally, she walked to the door, reached out and grasped the door handle, and slowly opened the door with a hint of expectation and inquiry in her eyes, wanting to see who was outside the door.

"Um, hello...hello."

When Nanako saw Lu Wusong standing at the door, she was stunned for a moment. Her eyes widened involuntarily, and her eyes were full of surprise and unexpectedness.

Then, she made way as if she had been electrocuted, her face quickly filled with respect, and she spoke in a slightly nervous voice.

She really didn't expect that the person who came would be the king of China's superpowers, Lu Wusong, the superpower user who was famous throughout the world.

In her opinion, Lu Wusong was like a legendary figure, high above and out of reach.

Now that such a big shot suddenly appeared in front of her, she couldn't help but feel panic and awe in her heart.

Lu Wusong was still wearing his favorite red suit. The bright red color looked particularly dazzling under the light, as if exuding a unique aura.

His suit was well-tailored, with smooth lines, perfectly setting off his tall stature and extraordinary temperament.

He looked at the slightly embarrassed girl in front of him, and a kind smile appeared on his face. That smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel warm and kind.

There was a gentleness and tolerance in his eyes, as if telling Nanako not to be so nervous.

He nodded slightly, signaled to Nanako, and then walked into the room with a leisurely pace, exuding a confident and calm charm in every move.

Nanako followed Lu Wusong nervously, her heart beating faster involuntarily, not knowing why this superstar-level figure suddenly came to visit her.

Lu Wusong walked into the room with steady steps. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and he seemed to have a powerful aura.

His gaze fell naturally and smoothly on Sakurai Mizuki. At that moment, a barely perceptible sharpness flashed in his eyes like lightning, as if he could see through all disguises and cover-ups.

But this sharpness was fleeting and soon covered up by his signature smile. That smile was as warm and gentle as the sun, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze, but it was difficult to grasp the deeper meaning behind it.

"Ms. Sakurai Mizuki, I have long heard of your name."

Lu Wusong spoke politely. His voice was steady and magnetic, and it seemed to carry a calming power as it slowly echoed in the room.

Nanako quickly stepped forward, with a hint of nervousness and caution on her face, and earnestly helped translate for Sakurai Mizuki.

After hearing this, Sakurai Mizuki slowly stood up. Her movements were graceful and calm, with a perfect smile on her face. She said in Neon language:

"Lu Wusong Heavenly King, it is my honor to meet you today."

Her tone was polite and distant, as if separated by a thin veil, making it difficult to truly touch her heart.

There was a subtle hint of vigilance in her eyes, like a watchful deer, always paying attention to the movements around her.

After Nanako translated, Lu Wusong nodded slightly and looked around.

His eyes seemed to be scanning the room casually, as if he was admiring the layout of the room, but also seemed to be looking for some clues.

He then said, seemingly casually:

"I heard that Miss Sakurai came to China this time. I wonder what you are doing here?"

Although his words were gentle, as soft as the gurgling of water, they carried an invisible pressure, as if a mountain was looming and could not be ignored.

Sakurai Mizuki frowned slightly, a trace of thought flashed in her eyes, and after a brief pause, she said:

"I am just very interested in China's culture and Pokémon training environment, so I came here to exchange and learn."

Her answer was flawless, like carefully woven silk, smooth and perfect, without a single flaw to be found.

Her eyes never left Lu Wusong's face. She stared at him closely, as if she was carefully observing his every subtle reaction so as to adjust her response strategy at any time.

Lu Wusong smiled gently, with a hint of deep meaning in his smile. He said:

"That's great. China has always welcomed friendly exchanges. However, we have recently increased our attention to some special situations. After all, the peace and stability of the Pokémon world needs our joint maintenance."
